Before the election, and after the murders of four Americans including an America Ambassador, many officials from the Obama Administration, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, deliberately stated misinformation concerning the attacks that resulted in these deaths. Obviously, this was a planned response ordered by someone. During the questioning of Hillary Clinton concerning the Benghazi terrorist attacks was the following question even asked? "Who ordered you and other officials in the Obama Administration to promote to the media and the American public a fabricated, false cause of the Benghazi terrorist attacks?"

A sitting President of the United States not only failed to attempt a rescue of four Americans who were tortured, sodomized and murdered in Benghazi, Lybia he did nothing even though the military was staged and ready to act. Here's the plan; "We'll send UN Ambassador Susan Rice out to promote the false fact that this attack on America occurred because of a spontaneous demonstration, we have an election to win and we've been touting our success and the defeat of our enemies. When the true facts come out later, we'll leak that we are considering nominating Susan Rice for...

Many of us know the continuation of Leftist economic policies are destined to cause the economic and fiscal collapse of the United States. The Republican controlled House of Representatives may be a temporary firewall. My question is what will be the order of events of the melt down? I expect with each piece of the failure the federal government to intervene even more causing more problems. It would be very helpful in making preparations to survive these times to have an idea of how and when the collapse will unfold. If you have also been speculating on this topic share...

I know many people in their 40's, 50's 60's taking college courses, some for many years after being on unemployment, after being released from prison, attempting recovery for drug addiction, any number of situations. With the nation approaching $16 Trillion in debt I wonder and have many questions about this. Seems they can continue a $1500 a year nicotine habit or spend in other nonessential areas and it does not matter. A man in his mid-50's told me, "If they are going to give it to me, I'm going to take it." He's been taking college courses for at least...

A friend mine shared that he spent $455.00 for 12 pills. And commented, "There should be laws against this robbery." I suggested he find out why the pills cost so much, he does not seem interested in doing so, would rather continue to believe there is no cause to justify the high cost. But this has caused me to want to be better informed on this topic. I'd appreciate any info and links shared, thank you.

Obviously a big point of Obama's campaign is that he inherited all things that are currently wrong with our economy. During the last 2 years of the Bush Administration the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Did Senator Obama vote YES on every spending Bill during this time? I have been looking for the answer and would appreciate some help.

Senator Sherrod Brown's recent comments on reducing the federal budget deficit; > > "Cut $20 billion in spending by ending taxpayer-funded subsidies to the five biggest oil companies." $20 billion is a ridiculous amount to cite. The figure the other Democrat Socialist Statists use when demagoging this fabricated issue is around $4.3 billion in so-called government "subsidies". > > Senator Brown and President Obama talk about huge "subsidies" as if taxpayers are signing billion dollar checks to oil and gas companies. But oil companies do not get subsidies. Rather, like every other business, they are allowed to take tax deductions...

Ohio U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown's comment on reducing the federal deficit, his number one point; "Cut $20 billion in spending by ending taxpayer-funded subsidies for the five biggest oil companies. The Big Five oil companies made a record $137 billion in profits last year and made more than $1 trillion in profits over the last decade. Every penny more at the pump increases their profits by another $200 million. Meanwhile, taxpayers spend billions each year giving handouts to these mega-corporations. I'm fighting to pass the Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act, which would end tax subsidies for big oil companies...

Newt Gingrich swung and missed, completely. His answer should have been not to accept the premise of the question. The home run swing that should have been; "Coming into office while the nation was slowing toward recession and even after the attacks of 9-11, President Bush's tax cuts and economic policies helped spur 50 consecutive months of economic growth, more than 8 million new jobs, real GDP grew by more than 17 percent and after-tax per -capita income increased by 12 percent. Then in 2006, the Democrats regained majority control of both Houses of Congress." Someone with Speaker Gingrich have...

Just a couple of questions. I know the Social Security System is not a genuine retirement fund, but it is presented as one. That being the case, would you ever suggest that a retirement fund that is not taking in enough contributions from contributors and investment earnings to pay current retirees to cut the rate of the amount paid by the contributors to the fund? (I know, so many aspects of this would be illegal in the private sector, point them out if you want). For years there had been a surplus created from the Social Security contributions exceeding the...

On Fox and Friends, one of the hosts of "The Five" I don't know his name) said Social Security is easy to fix, just raise the retirement age to 69 because people are living longer. He demonstrates this by stating that the life expectancy has dramatically risen since 1935 when Social Security was started. In 1935 the children were dying from many childhood diseases that had not yet been eradicated. There were many more infant deaths then and young mothers dying during childbirth. The life expectancy rate is an average, these young deaths are the cause for life expectancy rate...

One answer I have from friends is the handouts. There must be something more. What percentage of union workers will approve of a Democrat no matter what? And how many is this? What percent of blacks or minorities will approve of a black liberal Democrat no matter what? And how many is this? What percent of the people being paid not to work will approve of a Democrat that will not allow the unemployment "benefits" to end, and when they do end get their school and "keep" paid for? All of this cannot add up to 40% of the people,...

I'm sorry if that seems like a simplistic question. With the Congress allowing the President to spend this nation $2.5 Trillion further into debt I would like to know WHERE will this money come from. There is not a nation on earth that is able to loan this total amount to the United States Treasury. Why would financial institutions loan a significant portion of their investors money to an entity that will only be planning on paying the interest and servicing the debt? How much of this $2.5 Trillion is likely to be simply printed? Run off the federal printing...

I understand The Boener Bill raises the debt ceiling $900 Billion for immediate spending and "cuts" $1+ Trillion over 10 years? Are there any real cuts in federal spending or are these cuts merely decreases in increases? Any actual numbers on any of this? Briefly in understandable terms is anyone able to tell me what the Boener Bill consists of?

Will the Democrats who genuinely care about the future of the United States and preserving individual Freedom and Liberty put up a candidate to challenge the socialist leftist marxist Obama in 2012? And who would it be?

Senator Ted Kennedy while serving in the Senate from Massachusetts allowed a woman to die in his car. Kennedy did not resign, served for 40 more years all the way to his death. President Bill Clinton, while President committed felony crimes in an attempt to fix a court case in which he was the defendant and an American citizen was the plaintiff. FELONY CRIMES! He did not resign. They both knew that the Democrat voters would continue to support them no matter what they did. Weiner showed his weiner. He should resign? WHY? Why him and not Kennedy and/or Clinton?...

There's been much discussion among my brothers, friends and myself concerning the dramatic rise of the cost of gasoline in America. Th oil companies have very little to do with the consumer cost of gas at the pump. What is the profit margin of the major oil companies on a gallon of gas? 8%? I'm not sure, I'm sure I will know this shortly. But for this exercise let's use 8%. 8% of $4.15 per gallon is more than 8% of $3.00 per gallon.Oil companies are reportedly making record profits. OF COURSE! My brothers blame speculators. What role do specualtors...

The recent jobs report has shown the unemployment rate has dropped to 8.9%, what is the formula used for determining this rate? Is it possible for the current Administration to elinimate certain sectors of the unemployed to achieve this desired result? Those who were collecting unemployment benefits but are now being paid to go to school or are being paid to remain poor. etc. When the welfare rolls increase does this decrease the unemployment rolls? Is it possible for the Administration to stretch to increase the actual number count of the American work force to achieve a lower unemployment rate?...

The reasons for gasoline being $3.18 in Ohio today may be entirely laid at the feet of the "Left" in America. From the over regulation and restrictions from the EPA to the propagandizing of the man made climate change hoax and many other leftist reasons. There has been an attack on the oil industry for decades. Not only are the companies demonized but so are there products. How can anyone expect a product to be reasonably priced after decades of attack and hampering of productivity? You'll be hearing those on the "Left" cite rising profts as prrof of profiteeering being...

The Strickland campaign is pounding the Kasich/Lehman Brothers connection really hard. Strickland is an Obaminite who will support the socialist marxists no matter what. As they believe, Strickland also believes even more government intervention is needed. Not only has Strickland allowed the destructor-in-chief to campaign for him, he has also allowed the former President who actually committed felonies in an attempt to fix a court case against an American citizen to campaign for him also. Strickland is a obviously lying scoundrel. Since many voters affected by sound bite campaign adds I wonder how effective this theme of "Kasich ruined Ohio...

I have three brothers who have been laid off from where they were employed. It's been near 2 years for all of them. Since they refuse to work for $10.00 to $12.00 an hour the state of Ohio has borrowed money from the federal government to pay them not to work for 99 weeks and each of them attend college courses paid with funds the federal government has borrowed against America's future and loaned to the state of Ohio. The state of Ohio must start paying interest on this federal loan next year. Ohio has a $8 billion annual budget...

It's the summer driving season, there has been a very well dramatized large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. There has been a moratorium placed on all off shore drilling in the Gulf. (Is this true? To what extent does the moratorium reach?} There are many reasons the price of gasoline would dramatically rise. Why has this not been the case? I say it's because of the bad economy. If the economy truly did recover and demand rose we would see gasoline prices rise above $4.00 a gallon because of the Obama Administration ongoing "war on oil". Crazy guy...

I mentioned to a friend about the American who was captured in Pakistan hunting bin Laden. I was told that the military deliberately does not capture or kill bin Laden because the military and the military contractors will make more money the longer bin Laden is "out there." I took great offense at this and told him the U.S. delayed over 12 years in going back to war with Iraq even though they were continually in violation of the Gulf War Truce and a state sponsor of terrorism. I did not, but could have mentioned for over 40 years there...

Alvin Greene, with almost no campaigning, no experience and a criminal past won the South Carolina Democrat primary to run in the general election for U.S. Senate. Though more experienced in political and legal matters his fellow Democrat opponent was white. Recent history has shown many people voted for Barack Obama because they desired a black to be President. Every time I heard this I thought, with that being said they are admitting they would vote for any black right off the street as long as his opponent was white. A decision and an act based purely on race. What...

A typical Democrat ploy is to demonize Wall St. and demonize any Republican ever associated with Wall St. I understand most of the campaign money from Wall St. goes to Democrats. Governor Strickland's class warfare campaign ads are doing just that attacking John Kasich for working for Lehman Brothers and supporting NAFTA. What is Kasich's history with Lehman Brothers? What were the benefits of NAFTA? Democrats are stating that Republican failed trickle down economic policies is what created the current economic mess. Are they ignorant are just deliberately lying scoundrels? Politicians meddling with the banks and the mortgage industry is...

Since liberals insist that the way to lessen are dependence on foreign oil is to develop non-profitable alternative energy that must be subsidized by the government must they think that we have become dependent on foreign oil because of lack of alternative energy sources? The leading foreign importer of oil to the USA is Canada, # 2 is Mexico. The only reason oil must be shipped from the other side of the planet is because over over bearing EPA restrictions and other government red tape in doing anything concerning developing any new oil reserves here at home. Ohio issue 1...

It's Democrat against Democrat and the ads here in Ohio are full of the usual fool the masses sound bites with no substance. For instance: Lee Fisher wants to be U.S. Senator from Ohio. His ad states John Boener supports tax breaks that move YOUR jobs out of Ohio. You know, We need the best Democrat to fight to keep the Republicans from paying the manufacturers to move YOUR job away. There's no explanation of what these tax breaks are. I suspect manufacturers, when confronted with high taxes and over bearing restrictions and regulations move to other states and nations....

For many years now there has been talk of making a movie of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". I cannot see how a movie would do proper justice to this prophetic and deeply profound novel. I feel this could only be done in what would be no doubt a compelling television mini-series. This book has been profitably in print continuously for 53 years now. When asked what one book has changed your life a person's most frequent answer is The Bible follwed by "Atlas Shrugged". What is out there now concerning any production efforts? During times when many of the events...

Free market sloutions to the economic problems will not be applied by the current administration. Why? Free market solutions empower the people, not the government. Every national problem we currently have has been caused by government intervention. The "solution" the leftist Obamist have is always much more government intervention. Name any problem (crisis, anyone else think this word is overused? this nation currently faces and it can be demonstrated that government intervention was the root cause of the problem. The economy: The mortgage meltdown that initated the recession could NOT have happened if not for the federal government mortgage institutions...

I'm about to write the federal government another check. I have spent the whole year watching my money, looking for deals, earning the best I can and not blowing my money. Now I write a check to the Feds so they can blow it! I used to justify this insane behaviour of mine by claiming. "My tax money is going towards missle defense." I can't say that any more. I can't count the "poor", under achieving SOB's I know that got a thousands of dollars gift called earned income credit. And they need my EARNED money if they can give...

The Bill is so volunimous I thought it would be helpful to share parts of the Bill different individuals have discovered. What each of us know individually of the provisions can be shared to help us know more completely of this deliberately confusing Bill. You know, like the phone bill, they make it so confusing on purpose so you do not want to read it, just pay it.

The goal of the Left: End the economic and military superpower status of the United States of America. The Left's cast of anti-American villians: The President of the United States, the Democrats in the House of Representatives, the Democrat Senators, various leftist community agitating organizations, Unions and others who will sell their nation away for a price. Please add to the list. If these people were out to destroy the United States of America, what would they be doing differently from what they are doing right now. I know, there is a one word answer. The cast of patriotic, American...

It's time to allow people to be poor. Let the unemployment run out. People will then take lesser paying jobs they do not want or go directly on government assistance, welfare. They can sell the extra stuff they have, they can cut back to try to make it. No smoking, drinking or drugging, no vacations, no eating out, no going out on week-ends, no extra cable channels, no new clothes, and much more. If the government is going to pay people not to work, they are not going to work! How many extensions have there been? Three? Four? When is...

We already have the $787 Billion Stimulus Bill which is now going to cost $75 Billion more than anticipated. This is the largest spending bill in the history of mankind. Since a vast portion of this money has yet to be spent, what is the reason for the $15 Billion Jobs Bill? Okay, I know they are attacking the American free market capitalistic system and using debt as a weapon, but what is there bogus reason they are presenting to the American public? To pay artificially inflated union wages for road work?

Of course, I know it has. And please excuse my ignorance on the subject, just trying be better informed. I often hear the Obama Administration state that the banks must be more willing to lend money to small business. My thoughts have been, if I were a small business I would not be looking to borrow money now not knowing what the rules will be in the future. I would be less willing to take risks knowing those who hold power favor pro-government policies much more than they favor pro-business policies. Examples; cap and trade, bogus health care reform, Bush...

I love Charles Krauthammer, he says what needs to be said and is always right on! But last night on FOX's "Special Report" he stated that President Clinton's impeachment was made into a big deal because nothing else was going on at the time. No wars, the economy "seemed" to be robust. Krauthammer was on the "this was only an affair" kick, you know, Clinton got caught cheating on his wife, no big deal. Clinton, the sitting President of the United States of America was a defendant in a court case, the charge was sexual harrassment. The plaintiff was Paula...

Less than two months to go now to the big tax deadline! That's the way it is for me every year. How much time do I have left? I work, stress, sometimes borrow to pay what I owe. All around me I see stories of people with children getting money from the federal government in what to them is large amounts. This money often greatly exceeds the amount they have had withheld for their tax obligations. My latest example: My niece and her boyfriend. He has no job, gets unemployment, has been known to say there's no sense looking for...

The Democrats have held majority control in both houses of Congress since the elections of 2006. They were not innocent bystanders. Before the Democrats took contol of Congress there was 50 consecutive months of economic growth. For nearly a year it has been repeated over and over about the Democrats inheriting the economic problems. Did they? Or are they simply shifting blame?

Many actions of Major Nidal Malik Hasan prior to the Ft. Hood massacre should have made it apparent to many that he was an Islamic jihadist yet he was left to remain among our American military patriots. Major Hasan gave a bizarre lecture to the medical staff while at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in which he said the Quaran teaches that infidels should have their heads cut off and set on fire. During other instances, Major Hasan had stated to other military personnel that Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans in retalliation for the war...

I have heard absolutely no one suggest that the Constitutional Amendment process should be iniated and employed to allow or disallow the government take over of the healthcare insurance industry. There are numerous other actions by the federal government that seem to be outside the restraints of the Constitution. Are we to a point where to require an amendment to the Constitution isn't even part of the conversation? Conservative means conserving the priciples in which this nation was founded. Even the Conservatives have not demanded the Constitutional Amendment process be implemented. Shouldn't our representatives demand this?

It seems to me that the rise in health care insurance premiums is more a result of government interference than free market forces. The proposed destruction of the American private health care industry will destroy individual Freedom and Liberty. The lefts lament is that the rising healthcare insurance costs is only about greed. Of course, they say only "healthcare" in a deliberate attempt to misrepresent and deceive. let's lay it out right here, what has caused the escalating costs in premiums? Governmental mandates on coverage? What are these mandates? Is it true you cannot buy insurance from state to state?

Roofing companies are phoning home owners and going door to door offering free roof inspections. Following the roof inspection it's always, "You have hail damage, your home owners insurance will cover roof replacement." This is Ohio, it storms every year, I've been roofing over 28 years. We have hail storms every year, I've NEVER heard of hail damaged shingles, that must be some hail! None of my roofs were hail damaged. A woman I know just recently had this happen, she recieved a $8200 estimate to replace her entire roof through her insurance company paying no deductible. I'm going to...

During an economic recession the recipe for an economic recovery is openly demonstrated by history. Lowering corporate taxes, lowering individual income taxes, lowering capital gains taxes and lessening government regulations and restrictions on business and industry is the repeatedly proven method to restore an ailing economy. Presidents Kennedy, Reagan and George W. Bush all successfully implemented tax cuts to improve this nations economy. Coming into office while the economy was slowing toward recession, even after the 9-11 attacks Presidents Bush's tax cuts and economic policies helped spur 50 consecutive months of economic growth, more than 8 million new jobs, real...

It seems now the best thing that can happen to save America, mankind's last best hope for individual Freedom and Liberty is for the pro-American Conservative Republicans to regain majority control of both houses of Congress in 2010. If this does not happen, what then? Is all then lost? The United States saved the world from complete tyrannical domination three times during the 20th century. When America is just another complete socialist nation merely equal to the others what nation will there be to keep mankind free? So, if we lose in 2010 is there a plan B?

The Socialists are simply allowing problems with industries to happen so they can claim a "crisis" that only governmental take over can solve. In some cases, the Democrat Socialists are intentionally causing the crisises. President Bush, providing the largest tax cuts in a generation, helped spur more than 50 months of economic growth, more than 8 new million jobs, real GDP grew by more than 17%, and after-tax-capita income increased 12%. Then the Socialist Democrats regained control of both houses of Congress and an economic crisis hit. Bush had pushed for greater regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the...

Implemented a policy to close GITMO prison and move terrorists to American soil where they can be granted Constitutional rights. Reversed the ban on federal dollars to fund people to kill their unborn children internationally. Moved the over sight of the Census from the non-partisan Commerce Department to the White House. Renewed the ban on leasing to the oil companies unused offshore oil fields. Took advantage of economic conditions to initiate the government take-over of the American economy with the "Recovery Act". What else has these liberal socialists wrought in a mere 30 days?

Would it not be typical of the MSM to ignore all negatives that are bound to occur from 1-2 million people tightly gathered in below freezing weather for hours and hours. I suspect it would have to be something very large and tragic to happen before they make a report. "It's a great day! A black man will be President! We're jubilantly ecstatic as long as he is not a pro-American conservative black man, it wouldn't count then, he would be just an Uncle Tom. So let us, the media, only report things that will reflect the greatness of this...

In order to get any Democrat back into the White House the media, including the Dayton Daily News have for years ran negative stories concerning the American miltary effort and the economy. This was done to promote economic and military defeat. President Saddam Hussein's Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism which for over a decade was in continual violation of the Gulf War Truce, ignored 17 UN Resolutions and refused to sufficiently prove that Iraq no longer possessed weapons of mass destruction. The burden of proof belonged to Saddam Hussein, not President Bush. After the terrorist attacks of 2001...
